How to Offend a Lot of People at Once:

Make fun of and/or criticize something that a lot of people do, say and/or think.

For example, because of my age and stage of life, I know or know of many newlywed couples. {Newlywed being defined as married less than two years.} I am so happy for these couples! They are to be celebrated and they are to celebrate as they being this part of their earth-journey together. What a great opportunity to show what an equal partnership (with Jesus as its Leader) can look like!

But I have to be honest. I have been increasingly assaulted by thoughts of canceling my facebook account because what are most likely repeated attempts to encourage a spouse come across as:

a) Nauseatingly ridiculous ("My husband just made macaroni and cheese!! He is soooo incredible!!! God is so good!!")
b) Insensitive to single people who want to be married ("God has given me the greatest gift in life: my wife. God is so good!!")
c) Untrue ("My hubby is the best husband in the whole world!!")
d) Pathetic ("My wife can't find her keys; I feel so powerless to help cuz I'm at work and can't do anything about it!! Please pray.")

I could go on. But I won't because I've probably done most of the offending necessary to prove my point.

P.S. The word "hubby" is about the most annoying word in the history of the world. Ever.
